North Carolina Tar Heels (official thread)

NCAA investigating academic fraud at 20 schools, per report

The NCAA is investigating allegations of academic misconduct on the campuses of 20 member schools, the association's head of enforcement told The Chronicle of Higher Education.

While no schools were named in the report, the official did say that 18 cases are in Division I, with one in Division II and one in Division III. The cases are all in different stages, and involve a wide range of allegations of impermissible assistance from professors, academic advisers or third-party representatives from outside the athletic department.

The report goes on to detail the NCAA's increased investment of resources into punishing academic fraud at its member institutions, including the establishment of a academic integrity group within its enforcement department and additional training for the association's investigators.

These cases could involve any number of sports within the Division I structure (Georgia's recent issues in the swimming and diving program, for example, is mentioned in the article), but the ongoing investigation at North Carolina will continue to be the most frequently mentioned case on the national radar.

The deliciousness of that thread, coming from a fan base whose coach has publicly questioned the ethics of their institution's steering of athletes in their academic path, has made my entire week....

Shouldn't the school with the average football player SAT 350 points lower than the average normal freshman that clusters a large majority of their football players suspiciously into one major be just a little bit worried? The Michigan Man? He's too arrogant to worry.

I'm dropping my first troll into play since Tug Speedwell to address the issue.

The school that I wold really like to see on there is Texas. Their fans can give Penn State a good run in the everybody cheats but us department. How the fuck Vince Young not only stayed eligible but was handed a degree has to be fishy.

Congrats to @VinceYoung, who graduated today from Texas with degree in education, one day before turning 30. Very proud of you.

Supposedly he has a degree in education. He probably even graduated "magna cum wonderlic" too.

:biggrin:
